По результатам изучения собственных сборов автора фауна пресноводных двустворчатых моллюсков (Mollusca, Bivalvia) бассейна р. Таз включает 70 видов из 6 родов, 4 подсемейств и 2 семейств. Приведен аннотированный список видов двустворчатых моллюсков бассейна р. Таз. Анно- тации видов содержат сведения об их ареале, находках в Западной Сибири и бассейне Таза, биономике и относительном обилии в водоемах и водотоках рассматриваемого бассейна. Впервые для района исследований зарегистрировано 45 видов. Распределение видов по представленности в составе коллек- ции и по встречаемости крайне неравномерное, видовое богатство большинства малакоценозов невы- сокое. Редкими в составе коллекции являются 22 вида. Наибольшее видовое богатство зарегистрирова- но в придаточных водоемах рек, реках и ручьях, наименьшее – во временных водоемах. В фауне двустворчатых моллюсков Таза преобладают широкораспространенные (космополитные, голаркти- ческие, палеарктические)

Online serial at <http://mollusca.sav.sk> 1-Nov-2019. So far, Pisidium tenuilineatum has been reported from Slovakia only from four sites. Six new sites of this pea mussel have been found during the last twenty years in Slovakia in both small karstic watercourses (e.g. rivulets, brooks and small rivers) and large lowland rivers. These new records show that P. tenuilineatum should be still considered as a rare species in Slovakia but some new populations are still likely to be discovered especially in lower elevations and in the areas of low anthropogenic influence.

  • Notes on the Land and Freshwater Mollusca of the Island of Gozo (Maltese Islands)
    I The Central Mediterranean Naturalist I 4(3): 163-169 I Malta, November 2007 NOTES ON THE LAND AND FRESHWATER MOLLUSCA OF THE ISLAND OF GOZO (MALTESE ISLANDS) Constantine Mifsud! & Paul Sammur ABSTRACT An annotated list of living species of land and freshwater molluscs from the Island of Gozo, in the Maltese archipelago is presented. Pisidium personatum is listed as still extant in at least one local stream. Deroceras panormitanum (Lessona & Pollonera, 1882) and Hohenwartiana hohenwarti (Rossmassler, 1839) are listed as recorded from the island for the first time. INTRODUCTION During the years 2001 to 2006, searches were conducted for land and freshwater molluscs at several stations throughout the island of Gozo. This short survey was undertaken to determine the conservation status of the land and freshwater molluscs of the island. An effort was made to concentrate mainly on the species of Limacidae which could possibly be presently living on the island. With a few exceptions, the molluscan fauna is similar to that of the main island, Malta. The need is stressed for proper conservation efforts to be taken in order to preserve the habitat of a few endangered species. ABBREVIATIONS USED FF = a common species; not threatened; F = a locally frequent species, but could be threatened; R = a rare species; RR = a rare species and highly threatened; PR = a previously recorded species not met with; NR = a newly recorded species for Gozo Island; CM = Constantine Mifsud. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sampling was largely conducted during the spring and winter months in order to record living material when possible; however, sampling during the summer months was also occasionally conducted.

Aunque de algunas especies no se dispone de citas bibliográficas concretas para dicha provincia, se contempla la presencia, actual y/o histórica, de al menos seis especies pertenecientes a tres fami- lias diferentes: Margaritiferidae (Margaritifera auricularia), Unionidae (Anodonta cygnea, Potomida littoralis y Unio mancus) y Sphaeriidae (Pisidium casertanum y Pisidium personatum). Se recomienda la realización de prospecciones para conocer con detalle la ver- dadera diversidad de este grupo de moluscos en La Rioja así como la adopción de medidas contra la invasión de los bivalvos exóticos Corbicula fluminea y Dreissena polymorpha. Palabras clave: conservación, Margaritifera, Anodonta, Unio, Potomida, Pisidium, especies invasoras. ABSTRACT The scarce information on the freshwater bivalve diversity of La Rioja province is reviewed. At least six species belonging to three different families are present: Margaritiferidae (Margaritifera auricularia), Unionidae (Anodonta cygnea, Potomida littoralis and Unio mancus) and Sphaeriidae (Pisidium casertanum and Pisidium personatum). New prospections must be done in order to know the real diversity of this group in La Rioja province. Control measures are also recommended to prevent the inva- sion of the exotic bivalves Corbicula fluminea and Dreissena polymorpha.

  • On the Reproduction of Pisidium C. Pfeiffer, 1821 (Bivalvia: Sphaeriidae) from Sąpolno (Nw. Poland)
    Folia Malacol. 25(3): 175–194 https://doi.org/10.12657/folmal.025.014 ON THE REPRODUCTION OF PISIDIUM C. PFEIFFER, 1821 (BIVALVIA: SPHAERIIDAE) FROM SĄPOLNO (NW. POLAND) StaniSław Myzyk Sąpolno 14, 77-320 Przechlewo, Poland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: During a malacofaunistic survey in the environs of Sąpolno (Pomeranian Lakeland, NW. Poland) 16 species of Pisidium were found within an area of 2.5×2.0 km: P. amnicum (O. F. Müller), P. casertanum (Poli), P. crassum (Stelfox), P. globulare Clessin, P. henslowanum (Sheppard), P. hibernicum Westerlund, P. milium Held, P. moitessierianum Paladilhe, P. nitidum Jenyns, P. obtusale (Lamarck), P. personatum Malm, P. ponderosum (Stelfox), P. pseudosphaerium Schlesch, P. pulchellum Jenyns, P. subtruncatum Malm and P. supinum A. Schmidt. The number of offspring during the reproductive season depended on the species and on the parent’s size. The most fecund species was P. ponderosum, with up to 75 juveniles released at once. The offspring of P. amnicum were the largest (mean shell length 2.05 mm), but relatively small compared to the parent’s shell (mean 26.1%). The smallest juveniles were produced by P. moitessierianum (mean shell length 0.59 mm). The juvenile shells of the studied species were more or less elongated, with the height/length ratio ranging from 0.75 (P. amnicum, P. ponderosum, P. henslowanum) to 0.83 (P. subtruncatum, P. hibernicum). Distinct differences were observed in the reproduction of P. casertanum and P. ponderosum. However the differences between the reproductive parameters of P. ponderosum and the form described as P. casertanum var.
